Dillenia is a genus of evergreen or semi-evergreen trees and shrubs in the flowering plant family Dilleniaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of southern Asia, Australasia, and the Indian Ocean islands.[4]: 154–156 [5][6]
The genus is named after the German botanist Johann Jacob Dillenius.[7]
Structure
[edit]The leaves are simple and spirally arranged. They are generally large, in the case of Dillenia reticulata reaching 1.27 m (4 ft 2 in) in length and about 41 cm (16 in) wide.[8] The flowers are solitary, or in terminal racemes, with five sepals and five petals, numerous stamens (up to 900 in the case of Dillenia ovalifolia[9]), and a cluster of five to 20 carpels. Some species, such as Dillenia indica[10][11] and Dillenia megalantha[12] can have flower diameters of 20 cm (7.9 in). They are superficially similar in appearance to Magnolia flowers.[6]
